"The match for the vacant World Heavyweight title started apprehensively but featured a hard-hitting finish. The second half of the match had plenty of near falls and both wrestlers using each other's finishing moves. In the end, Punk landed multiple GTS finishers before pinning Uso to claim the championship. I can see Punk holding the championship well into next year, maybe even until Seth Rollins returns from injury."
"Jade Cargill dismantled Tiffany Stratton to capture her first WWE singles title, becoming the WWE Women's Champion. And CM Punk finally recaptured the World Heavyweight Championship (and held it longer than five minutes), defeating Jey Uso for the vacant title without Rollins around to spoil the celebration. Elsewhere, Cody Rhodes closed the chapter on his feud with Drew McIntyre by successfully defending the Undisputed WWE Championship and Dominik Mysterio retained the Intercontinental Championship in a triple threat against Penta and Rusev with his usual shenanigans."
